the house very lively.

| the Senators daughters who have taken
| prominent places in Washington society in
the past ten years derives her pre-eninence
| apart from her personal attraction more

of the Cabinet than from her close relation

| Whitney, the wife of the popular Secretary
| of the Navy, who is also the daughter of
| Senator Payne, of Ohio. Mrs. Whitney,
who excels in dispensing hospitality, being

seemed far happier since her infant daugh-

her in nine years. in assuming all the duties

satin or velvet and rare laces, and wearing
numerous diamond ornaments of great

her arms: This is better than all" Her
happiness makes her prettier than ever

parents, and probably this sorrow fastened
the coming of the white threads in Mrs

! Two of the prettieSt and most popular in
society among the daughters of Senators
were the daughters of Senators Dolph and
| Mitchell-from Oregon. The two gentle
men were law partners in Oregon. Mr.
| Dolph is now the senior Senator from the
State, because his term began before the
present one of his colleague, but the latter
a term in the Senate. Few
| girls belonging to Senator's families were as
